A false analogy, IMO. The fall of the Berlin Wall was not a military action directed by a US President. It had very little to do with the US, in fact.
Your comparison to Carter's action in Iran is more apt. The difference is that Obama's succeeded, where Carter's failed.
And I still can't, for the life of me, figure out why Bush should be congratulated for something that the current administration accomplised that he failed to do in his 8 years in office.
